Do not dwell on HTTP 403 error

Question

In one of my test cases of Selenium, I try to provide access to certain pages. Instead, an HTTP 403 return code should be specified.

However, here Selenium completes the test with the following exception:

com.thoughtworks.selenium.SeleniumException: XHR ERROR: URL = http://user:[e-mail]/admin Response_Code = 403 Error_Message = Forbidden

How can I get around this?

Answer 1

It seems that I myself must answer the question ...

Now I surround the "open" call with try ... catch block. There I parse the exception message if it contains the 403 code and the XHR ERROR. It seems to me not very clean, but it works.

try-catch Selenium:

try {
    $this->open('restricted_url');
    $this->assertTitle('The page cannot be displayed');
} catch (PHPUnit_Framework_Exception $e) {
    $this->start();
}

try {
